Tim Sweeney, CEO of the Epic Games Store, stated that the company has no intention of giving up on non-fungible token initiatives (NFTs).
Sweeney reiterated the firm's policy in response to a Twitter user's request to "get rid of every game in the store."
"You should have the freedom to choose whether or not to play the games that developers produce. I think designers of businesses and operating systems should refrain from interfering and forcing their opinions. Without a doubt, we won't," he wrote.
After Mojang Studios, the company that created Minecraft, declared that they "do not endorse or allow" the incorporation of blockchain technology and NFT into the game, the CEO of Epic Games Store intervened.
